Sony PHA-3 balanced portable dac/amp
I've only heard the PHA-3, but looking at the reviews, the Geek Out 1000 seems to be pretty good. Have you thought about a full size desktop amp/dac? It might be a better deal for the money if you already have a Geek Out 1000.- Jeff

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
The ZX1 does not output native DSD, according to my PHA-3. The Hi-rez light is on, but not the DSD light.- Jeff

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
Since the ZX1 uses the digital amp system, I think they replace the DAC with some sort of DSP.- Jeff

Sony PHA-3 balanced portable dac/amp
The PHA-3's ES9018 DAC has 8 channels. It could be using four channels for the balanced mode, though I have no way to confirm that.- Jeff

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
One feature I really like are the Senseme channels. It does a fair job of finding slow or fast songs depending on the "mood" you select.- Jeff

Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7
With all of this cable talk, don't forget there is a rather plain looking cable from the headphone's input jack to the driver. It might be something that modders will look into upgrading, maybe even completely bypassing the audio jack.- Jeff
